I still pick up the print edition for reading here at home and to send to my daughter. Posting it on line twice a day ensures I read it and have time to reflect.

Thanks Dave!

“It’s Thoughtful Thursday”

I’m thinking I like that graphic.

[oldteen]

Well, thank you sir! I kinda like it myself. ;)

He's been in my files for a while and figured today was as good a day as any to post him.

How are things with you? Pain easing? Putting on a little more weight?

And, Mrs. DD will be spending lots of time with you? WOO-HOO! (Give her my congrats on the retirement!)

Good story

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields
and until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Nos genuflectitur ad non princeps sed Princeps Pacem!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Land of Hope and Glory, Mother of the Free,
How shall we extol thee, who are born of thee?
Wider still and wider shall thy bounds be set;
God, who made thee mighty, make thee mightier yet,
God, who made thee mighty, make thee mightier yet.

Daniel Patrick Mitchell!

[ConorMacNessa]

Thanks very much, Luv!

*HUGS*

It's been a long road, but with the help of the Lord and some very fine people, he's made it through!

[luvie]

He will make you and Mrs. MacNessa very proud...and already has, of course! :)

What are his future plans?

[ConorMacNessa]

Luv - he's autistic. With the help of several agencies, we've lined up a local company - Melwood - that provides employment situations for developmentally delayed adults. He will probably be doing landscape and horticulture - that's what he concentrated in in his last two years of school. We have high hopes for him.

[luvie]

I’m sure that he will do well in life with such wonderful loving parents supporting him at all times! :)

Hi Amy! It’s been forever since I’ve posted, but I had a little break and thought I’d browse the site. Your thread is lovely, as usual.

[Diver Dave]

Great choir singing an Irish Blessing.

[Diver Dave]

Congratulations to Daniel Patrick Mitchell and to Mom and Dad.

[JustAmy]

WOW ... what a wonderful surprise. Welcome back, Dr. TulipTree!!

I think of you often and wonder how you are doing.

‘Seeing’ you reminds me of hearing about your trips home with Winston in tow. :) We shared some fun times.

It is so good to see you again; I hope you have time this summer to stop by and visit once in awhile.

Have a great day ...I hope to see you on the June thread.

[JustAmy]

Really cute ... thanks, Teenie.

[JustAmy]

Conor, You and Mrs MacNessa must be very proud. Tho the road has been hard, the rewards are great!!

Congratulations, DAN MITCHELL on your graduation from High School!!

We at Amy's Place are proud of you.
